Baked Chickpeas

Chickpeas, garbanzo beans – whatever those funny little things are called – are delicious. Possibly one of the most underrated legumes. But I never actually know when/how to eat them. In a salad, yes. Sometimes in a soup, yes. But what if I want more chickpeas!? They are such a great source of protein – why not have them as a snack?

Packing food for work every day is a challenge. There is a fine balance between too much food and too little food. I don’t know about you all, but I somehow manage to always eat EVERYTHING that I bring to work. If I pack breakfast and lunch. I’ll eat breakfast and lunch. If I pack breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks. I will eat breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. If I pack enough food for a small family, I will eat enough food for a small family.

Having said that, when I don’t bring enough food to eat – I am scrambling! Finding healthy snacks at the office is nearly impossible! Not to mention, everything costs a fortune! A protein bar that would normally be less than a dollar at the grocery store is suddenly two dollars. Fruit isn’t always perfectly ripe, or is overripe. And most importantly, the temptations are everywhere. Chips, cookies, candy – how come unhealthy snacks are always so much less expensive? And more delicious…

These baked chickpeas are the perfect snack – they are light and crunchy, therefore entertaining to your mouth. Yet packed with protein to help sustain you through the day. Eat them plain, sprinkle them on soup or salad, the options are endless.

I love bringing them to work for a little pick me up in the afternoon. They satisfy my need to “crunch,” but give me a boost of protein which a bag of chips definitely would not!

Looking for a change? Try a different seasoning! Spice it up. You can’t go wrong with these little babies.

These baked chickpeas are the perfect snack - light, crunchy, and entertaining to your mouth... packed with protein to help sustain you through the day. Season with your favorite spice for an added kick!
